I have 2 cockshutt 550's, one running and one 'used to be running' lol. The 3 point hitch on the good tractor does not work, but I know the hydraulic pump is working as I have tested the remote connections using a wood splitter we have on the property. When the wood splitter is connected, and the remotes are enabled, I can hear the pump working and the axe splitter has plenty of power.
When I attempt to move the 3 point hitch control, there is nothing - no sound from the pump, no movement in the hitch. I can physically lift the 3PH up by hand with little to no resistance, and it will just fall back down to bottom.
However - If I attempt to engage the remotes without anything connected - the 3PH will slowly creep up without any input or controls.
I thought I would reach out and see if there are any opinions on what exactly might be wrong, before I attempt to open up the hydraulics on both units to swap out the valve bodies on the 3PH and hope that fixes it.
